I am trying to find the integer value for the cursor position in a text box,
in particular I want to find out if I am at the end of some text that I
typed or at the beginning.
I am using IE 6.
Thanks,

The following will give you the position of the caret, the rest is a
matter of substring-ing the control value and determine whether the
position is the one required.
Few browsers support ranges, though; you can expect it to work on IE and
Mozilla, but probably no other agents yet. Limitations in supporting
browsers are to be sought in the function triggering (can you see
situations where the function won't be triggered while it should be?).
<form>
<input type="text" onkeyup="s(this )" onclick="s(this )">
<input type="text" name="position" >
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
function s(el){
var sel, rng, r2, i=-1;
if(typeof el.selectionSta rt=="number") {
i=el.selectionS tart;
} else if(document.sel ection && el.createTextRa nge) {
sel=document.se lection;
if(sel){
r2=sel.createRa nge();
rng=el.createTe xtRange();
rng.setEndPoint ("EndToStart ", r2);
i=rng.text.leng th;
}
} else {
el.onkeyup=null ;
el.onclick=null ;
}
el.form.element s["position"].value=i;
}
</script>

That 's fine, but the question is what your users use. Incidentally, the
following code is IE-only:
function caretPos(){
var i=document.f.tx t.value.length+ 1;
if (document.f.txt .createTextRang e){
theCaret = document.select ion.createRange ().duplicate();
while (theCaret.paren tElement()==doc ument.f.txt
&& theCaret.move(" character",1)== 1) --i;
}
return i==document.f.t xt.value.length +1?-1:i;
}
// assuming document.f.txt is your textbox.
If the cursor is not in the textbox, the function returns a value of -1,
similar to the indexOf() method for strings.

Good morning,
I have a form containing a text-area,
I'd like to know if it exists a function that, when I activate an event,
returns the position of the cursor in the text-area.
For example, I write ten words in the text-area,
then I move the cursor at the beginning of the second word
and activate the event (for example, click on a button):
is there a way to know that the cursor is at the beginning of the second
word?

Hi,
For my application I need the following behavior: When I press F4 the cursor
has to move to the next line in my multiline textbox which begins with "0".
Finding lines starting with 0 isn't that difficult, but to find the next
line is more difficult. For exemple: if my cursor is on line 200, it has to
start searching on line 201, and not on line 1.
Anybody has any ideas?
